Undergraduate Problem Solving Contest

Rules

You must be an undergraduate enrolled in coursework at the University of Utah (students
in the HSUP program are also eligible).

You must work independently.

Write your solutions clearly and show all of your work.

If there is more than one sheet, staple the pages together. Include your name, student
ID number, and email address.

Bring your solution to the T. Benny Rushing Tutoring Center by the deadline and have
the tutor at the desk mark the date and time on your solution. Drop it in the box
provided (behind the tutoring desk).

A winner will be decided on the basis of the best solution submitted. If no best solution
can be determined (i.e. there exist relatively identical solutions), the winner will
be the student who submitted the first best solution.

Each submission will be given 3 points for a fully correct solution and 1 point for
a partially correct solution. The winner of each problem will get a bonus of e points.

This is not exactly a rule as it is unenforceable, but do not try to find the solution
to a problem by looking it up in a book or by searching online. That goes against
the spirit of the contest.

Other Information

The overall winner of the annual contest will receive an all-expense-paid trip to
MathFest, the annual meeting of the Mathematical Association of America. While attending
the meeting, the winner will be able to participate in a national problem solving
contest.
